why should this be good? we have no idea what it could be, and either way, it isnt firmware so it wont add any features to the console....

Good or not, I appreciate the constant revisions Sony is providing. (Hoping for it to continue indefinitely is probably wishful thinking but its nice to see they have plenty of motivation at the start.)

Not to mention the free-of-charge access we all enjoy.

yea I'm curious as to what it will be too. 

I hate speculating though so I won't...I'll just wait to see what it is. 

Sony must know when my birthday is so theyre leaving the store open on my birthday and closing it the day after. lol

Hopefully the US gets faster download speeds.  Cheapy D from cheapassgamer.com lives in Japan.  He said it took him minutes to download the Ninja Gaiden Sigma demo while in the US it took a day.

In preparation for this, both PLAYSTATION®Network and PLAYSTATION®Store need to be taken offline for a short while to allow us to carry out the upgrade and maintenance work.

"Over the next few weeks, some new and exciting changes will take place in the PLAYSTATION®Store. In preparation for this, both PLAYSTATION®Network and PLAYSTATION®Store need to be taken offline for a short while to allow us to carry out the upgrade and maintenance work."

Don't leave out the most important part....

Hopefully, this means Europe will start getting the content the US has.

I think they will work around the store exclusively. Add some crappy midi music for background and the option to chose from 5 colors and increase the overall security for it since it's made in html, I doubt it's THAT secure.

Could it be the preparation for the singstar intergration. I remember a story about how the PS store's interface will somehow take on the slick interface of singstar and so forth. As far as the network is concerned, I think that we may be receiving some newer and faster servers since the user install base is going to surely expand when the summer hits. I for one can't wait to find out what the big uproar is all about. Until then, I'll be enjoying my current library of games...

Why did they do this on the 8th, a Tuesday, when they always update on Thursdays???  I obviously haven't checked my PS3 yet.

Just ckecked and its just what i thought........nothing.  Yes, they may have worked on it yesterday but not on anything we would see.  If they are going to do anything new, we'll see it tomorrow.  I for one am not getting my hopes up.  Week after week they've been a disappointment on the PSN.

Where's Calling All Cars???

this was server maintenance/update/upgrade.  You weren't suppose to see anything new.
